I recently installed Linux-Mandrake 7.2 on a machine that already
had a single Windows Me partition on a 60G IBM hard drive.
Although I'd already purchased a copy of PartitionMagic (v. 6.0)
I wanted to put Mandrake through its paces, so I used DiskDrake
to reduce the size of the FAT32 partition and to create my new
Gnu/Linux partitions (1 swap, 3 ext2).
After installing PartitionMagic I used it to split up my Windows
partition (going from a single FAT32 partition to four FAT32 parti-
tions). This worked fine.
PartitionMagic doesn't see the Gnu/Linux partitions, however. It
displays them as one big contiguous "Type 85" partition. Naturally
I haven't tried doing anything with this via PM.
Other than this, everything's working fine. Both the Me and Gnu/
Linux sides are booting (using Grub) and running properly -- but I
*would* like to be able to manage my Gnu/Linux partitions with PM.
I should point out that all of the Gnu/Linux stuff is at the end
of the partition map, well beyond the 1024-cylinder frontier.
Anyone know what might be going on? Thanks....
